Chapter 238: Dongchu Court, Not Just One Prime Minister’s Mansion Can Be Criticized
After hearing Su Jixue's words, although all the civil and military officials in the court felt that something was wrong, they inexplicably felt very happy.
Su Jixue took a step forward, and Beisu couldn't help but step back.
In terms of momentum, Beisu has been suppressed by Su Jixue.
Bei Su was horrified. He had been following Zong Kui all the time. Apart from the setback he suffered in front of Ji Xue, he never took anyone seriously.
However, even if it was Ji Xue, Bei Su felt that he might be suppressed because he had other thoughts.
But the Su Jixue in front of him obviously looked different from her, but the fiery and blood-red dress, coupled with the domineering aura, gave Bei Su such an oppressive force at that moment that it felt as if he had seen an old friend.
"Miss Su, what identity do you have to say this? This is the court of Dongchu. You, a daughter of the prime minister, are not qualified to criticize it!" But Beisu was worthy of being the chief think tank beside Zongkui. He found the point to question Su Jixue in an instant.
The Dongchu state was originally weak, otherwise it would not allow Su Jixue, a woman, to speak so freely in the court.
This is something that no one in Nanqing can do except Ji Xue!
Bei Su wanted to stir up the resentment of the ruler and ministers of Dongchu against Su Jixue, otherwise the rhythm of the court would follow Su Jixue. This scene was very similar to the situation in the court of Nanqing where Ji Xue controlled the situation with just a few words.
And how can Su Jixue be compared with Ji Xue?
"What a joke! I'm saying this as Princess Zhan!" Su Jixue was not moved by Bei Su's words at all. She looked as if it was all right and righteous.
"In the battle of Gu'an, my future husband was nearly killed by your conspiracy! You, Nanqing, used the demon girl Ji Xue to disguise yourself as the War King and finally assassinated him!"
No one knew the inside story of the Gu'an Battle better than Su Jixue. She looked at Beisu in front of her with a cold expression, as if they had a grudge against her for killing her father.
"I failed to kill a single enemy in the Gu'an battle, yet I'm still so arrogant in my Dongchu capital, you two-kill war king, do you think I'm dead?!"
Su Jixue took another step forward, and her eyes with upturned corners looked murderous.
There was silence in the court.
Today, everyone, including Emperor Ming, actually heard a lot of inside information from Su Jixue's words, whether it was Beisu, whose full name they didn't know yet, or Ji Xue's participation in the Battle of Gu'an.
No one knew about this matter beforehand except the direct descendants of the War King.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Bei Su's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that the other party even knew about Ji Xue.
"Whether you are talking nonsense or not, we both know it. Where is Ji Xue from your country now? Isn't she and your regent Jiao Buli Meng and Meng Buli Jiao?! If you want to save Zong Kui, use Ji Xue in exchange!" Su Jixue suddenly thought of this in a flash and couldn't help but ask.
Now, no one knows about Ji Xue's death except Zong Kui and Si Su.
And Su Jixue didn't know what was happening to her direct descendants in Nanqing?
In fact, she had never asked because she was afraid that they had met with an accident. But now, when there was no way to spread the news of Ji Xue's death, such news would definitely mean something unusual.
"Su Jixue!" Beisu's face suddenly changed. He never expected that Su Jixue would say such a thing. What's the difference between this and asking Zongkui to die.
"Lord Beisu, please consider whether you are qualified before addressing our future princess by her name!"
Suddenly, the voice of Chief Steward Huo was heard from outside the Golden Palace.
After he finished speaking, he stood at the entrance of the Golden Palace and said loudly: "The commander of the Xiaoying Camp under the command of the War King, Huo Zheng, requests to see you."
He said he wanted to see someone, but Manager Huo was standing alone in the night. If it weren't for the reflection of the breastplate on his body, it would be impossible to see who he was.
Emperor Ming glanced at Eunuch Feng, who immediately said, "Send Commander Huo to see you."
Steward Huo then strode in, knelt on one knee before the Emperor Ming, and said in a loud voice, "The Prince Regent of Nanqing is now trapped in front of the Golden Throne Hall by the Xiaoying and Jinwu Guards. He can be strangled at any time!"
Manager Huo's words were sonorous and full of iron-blooded momentum.
He is here to put pressure on Nanqing.
Emperor Ming's fingers moved slightly on the dragon throne. He looked at the fearless Su Jixue and the imposing commander of the Xiaoying in front of him. It seemed that the lineage of the War King was not afraid of being an enemy of Nanqing at all.
The ripples just now in Emperor Ming's originally calm heart gradually turned into turbulent waves. Does that mean that he can actually do something that no emperor of Dong Chu in history could do?
Can we really take this opportunity to defeat Nan Qing, or even go further?!
"Your Majesty! You have clearly reached an agreement with our country just now." Bei Su saw that the situation had changed and became anxious. At this moment, the men around him had already bandaged the wound on his hand.
Emperor Ming was no longer as anxious as before. He leaned lazily against the dragon throne and said, "Oh? Weren't the returning envoys trying to deceive me just now?!"
"I had no idea there were so many hidden secrets in the Gu'an War. Furthermore, the case of treason that Dongchu is currently investigating seems to have been tainted by Nanqing. The compensation we just discussed is not appropriate."
Seeing Emperor Ming had finished speaking, Su Jixue asked, "Your Majesty, could you please tell me the specific conditions?"
Su Jixue knew the strengths and weaknesses of Nanqing, but she had not seen the specific conditions offered by Beisu.
"Prime Minister Su, you should talk to her." Emperor Ming gave Su Jian a chance.
Su Jian looked at his daughter, his chest already straightened at this moment. He walked to Su Jixue and told her the conditions he had just agreed with Nan Qing.
In fact, Su Jixue's performance really exceeded Su Jian's expectations. He had originally thought that if his daughter could be favored by the War King, she would definitely be a helper to him in the future.
But unexpectedly, now in the court, Su Jixue's performance is not even as good as some men.
She was able to suppress the momentum of the other delegation by herself.
Therefore, Su Jian brought up the importance of Su Jixue again. After stating the conditions, Su Jian couldn't help but lower his voice and warned: "Don't show off, otherwise the Nanqing people will not let it go."
Prime Minister Su has been in the court for many years and is already a veteran in the officialdom. Now that no one among the officials has raised any objections, is it really true that there are no capable people?
I'm just afraid of getting into trouble.
Su Jixue looked carefully at the so-called "father" in front of her. Su Jian did not seem to have changed into casual clothes at home. At this moment, he was wearing a purple official robe, just as he looked when they first met.
However, the official robe and hat Su Jian was wearing were now of a higher grade than before.
But he still looked as timid as ever.
"Father, it seems that what you should be thinking about is not whether the people of Nanqing will let it go, but whether my Dongchu will let it go!" Su Jixue clearly saw what the future of Dongchu would be like with this person as prime minister, who would be in charge of all officials in the future.
